EvenStevenBooking Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 He didn't ask for me to make a post and honestly wouldn't consider myself friends with him all that much. ...which is why you're antagonizing the mods and having laffs about it with him on Twitter. Okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 It's the internet. Actions have consequences. All we have here is how we present ourselves over time. That's it. It's why people think I'm a logic-only robot when it comes to the stuff I like sometimes. It's why he ended up in a situation where it wasn't wholly unreasonable to think that he was taking a generalizing potshot. When you get your last chance, you use it more carefully and watch what you say or you get what you get because people will assume the worst. I don't think this is rocket science.

Coffey Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 If one missing person is going to stain your thoughts on the entire board, that would be unfortunate... but we are going to continue as before minus one member. Â Speaking of, is there a way we can get more people to register? I really enjoy reading the thread about new posters here, posting how they got into wrestling, where they're from & what not. It would be cool if we could attract more peeps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

concrete1992 Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Changed it to shite mods. Which I could still change "shite" but I'll still remain at an impasse at with it so it would just end up at "poor mods". Â And really A) Kinda creepy B ) more a laugh about you tbh C) rovert and his desire to tell you he knew about a "scoop" before it happened as well as his desire to talk MUCH more about a "story" than the content of a wrestling program is something I find incredibly infuriating and if this came at the heels of the Henry and Show situation I wouldn't have batted an eye.

Loss Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 This thread was designed to air grievances, so I have no problem with the "shite" comment. I just read right past it until someone pointed it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Just in case this got lost in all the mud... Â Sometimes it is best if people part ways. He won't be reinstated. We aren't going to publicly shit on him. We are going to move on. Hopefully we have enough here for people to stick around with the Microscope, GWE project, yearbook project, fantasy booking, historical research, etc. If one missing person is going to stain your thoughts on the entire board, that would be unfortunate... but we are going to continue as before minus one member. Â Â I also want to state that this was not over one tweet. It also wasn't a rash decision that Loss made on a whim but something we were contemplating on doing before this incident. It was a cumulative effect. It may be unfortunate that it was after the tweet but rovert will still be allowed to post on twitter and other boards like VoW and F4. He'll be fine and PWO will be fine with the way things are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â EDIT: Who are you on Twitter by the way if I may ask? Â The first two points are strange/not worth addressing and I have no idea what that third point is about. This DID come at the heels of the Henry/Show situation. Loss said if that didn't happen, he wouldn't have done anything. Â Dropping this though as goodhelmet has made it clear further discussion isn't going to change anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
concrete1992 Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 I fought the good fight. Sucks but hey, life and such. Maybe one day wit some signs of change, from him most likely, but that isn't today so I'm going to quit here.  Now I'm going to move on to finding my screencapper. Cheers  EDIT: You screencapped me, mate. THAT'S kinda strange and to someone who feels a bit violated, worth addressing.  EDIT 2: But less so here. Sorry for the additions.

Grimmas Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 As a Mod I just want to point out that if you are warned numerous times to stop doing one thing and you continue to do it over and over again, then you run the risk of being banned. How many warnings do you think are fair, because whatever number you come up with, Rovert had more warnings than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

concrete1992 Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Real Q: Have I been considered a troll prior to this thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 No. It's obvious you are sensitive to the idea of mod/admin intervention except in extreme cases. The good news is that we are too. These disagreements are going to happen sometimes when we do feel like we have to take action, and that's to be expected. But hopefully the good still outweighs the bad by a healthy margin. In a perfect world, we'd never need to ban anyone again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Whatever spurious inside information he might have had was really not worth the "Well, I don't know how much of this is public, and I probably shouldn't say anything, BUUUUUUUT" Look-At-Me-And-What-I-Know bs that he tossed out at every chance. I'll take a JVK vs JDW derailing over that anyday. Â We're better off without him, easily. I don't think there's much more to say here. Let's get back to talking about Jerry Brisco.

cheapshot Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Matt, It's come across to me from time to time you have a personal issue with Rovert. You hounded him over at DVDVR in the past. What's the beef? You took issue to Rovert saying that Devitt was respected in the industry from memory.

He refused to follow the spirit of it. I thought that Charles' decision was both warranted as part of a greater whole and probably something that should have been done a while ago. I'm moving on.

cheapshot Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Â Matt, It's come across to me from time to time you have a personal issue with Rovert.

I've got a lot of Giant Baba to watch apparently. Â He obviously has been worth the time for you previously though, hence the comment I made about you hounding him over at DVDVR. The "Look-At-Me-And-What-I-Know bs" hasn't ever come across to me in that way. Rovert has stated that he has some friends in the business, and he will clarify or correct people on inaccurate information posted on boards/twitter based on what he has been told by sources. Rovert has a proven track record as he was the first to break the Chikara shutdown and the Elgin/ROH situation for example. Why should this of been done a while ago? Has he derailed threats to the extent of JVK vs. JDW? Not for me. I don't think we are better off without him overall, but that's just my take on things.

Also why should this of been done a while ago? Obviously you've got your reasons, I'd just like you to make them public for clarities sake.
